  3. The stamp maker is not for the faint of heart. You need and inkjet printer–I dont have one, so used a sharpie marker to darken my image and make it opaque. I found the words I printed out were crisp and clear–my image which came from a photograph was less clear, but I was able to touch up the stamped image to my liking. This is definately a fun machine and takes some getting used to–if you are willing to touch up your stamped image if it is not perfect then this machine is for you–
    The stamps are not soft however, they are hardish plastic, and need sticky tape to stick to your block. 2 sheets of tape are provided with the machine–

  4. teresa collins stamp maker Image Setup and Printing has not been easy for me i have a mac the program wont work and i have a canon printer that dose not have a setting for transparency … anyone know fixes to my lil problems please … thank you

  5. I have tried it twice and both times it isnot
    working… i even used the negative it came with and it did not work … this is an expensive tool to practice until perfect…
    I am not loving it yet ,,,, I will try again tommorrow .. i got an hp printer just for it.
    I dd do one at the convention with CHarlies and it came out perfect so I know there is a learning curb… but all things great are worth trying again and again …

  6. I just received mine today and there is definitely some learning to do. My printer won’t print dark enough to create a crisp image so what I did was print twice then glued the two pieces together. I know it uses up the film fast but it worked great!

    Another idea is you can cut images with a die cut machine using black paper and use that as your “film”.

    I am so excited about all the possibilities this baby has!

  7. What about printing in white ink on black paper, would that work? I’m researching this to consider a purchase….thanks.

10 Cat-Themed Scrapbook Layout Templates for Single-Page Designs (Perfect for 2–3 Photos of Your Favourite Feline)

If you share your home with a cat, then you already know the truth: they run the place. Whether they’re supervising your craft desk, refusing to look at the camera, or stretching themselves across your lap the moment you sit down to scrapbook… our feline overlords have a way of becoming the star of every moment.

So of course they need their own dedicated scrapbook pages.

I’ve designed this brand new set of 10 cat-only scrapbook layout templates, each made just for those irresistible whiskered face photos — the “I do what I want” moments, the biscuit-making paws, the dramatic flops, the window watching, and yes… even the blurry zoomies.

These layouts are all single-page designs, perfect for 2–3 photos, and filled with cute cat-themed doodles like whiskers, fish bones, yarn balls, hearts, paw prints, little tags, and those classic tilted-cat-attitude photo angles. They make scrapbooking your kitty quick, fun, and completely adorable.

Use these sketches for:
 • adoption day memories
 • “first day home” layouts
 • birthday or Gotcha Day albums
 • cosy cuddle photos
 • funny sleeping positions (cats are Olympic athletes at this)
 • mischief-making moments
 • cat + kids interactions
 • everyday quiet sweetness

Here’s a peek at what each sketch in this set brings to your creative table:

 A lively page that captures the playful side of your cat’s personality.

Layout 6 – Big Heart Photo Mat with Cat Ear Corners
 Soft, sentimental, and perfect for bonding moments or memorial pages.

 Adds movement and works beautifully with patterned papers.

 How to Use These Cat-Themed Scrapbook Sketches

  • Add real twine or embroidery thread to mimic yarn accents
     • Use kraft cardstock for a warm, natural “cat home” aesthetic
     • Mix black-and-white prints with soft pastels or neutrals
     • Stamp whiskers or tiny paw prints for texture
     • Let your cat’s personality guide the embellishments — calm, cheeky, dramatic, or sweet
     • Rotate sketches for even more design possibilities

These cat-themed scrapbook pages make it so easy to get your photos off your phone and into an album where they truly shine. And honestly… our cats deserve it. They give us companionship, chaos, comedy, comfort — sometimes all within the same five minutes.

If you use these sketches, tag CraftGossip on Facebook or Instagram. I absolutely love seeing your feline muses show off their best angles.
